With Trumps latest global tariff, how will it impact OUS sales for 3M? Seems the stock is down 5% upon liberation day, and looks set to decline more. Thoughts?
What happened to the „bring to midpoint“?
Got a market adjustment, but staying at 98% MRP. Expected to go up to 99-100% this year, didn’t get any information about the MRP adjustment so far. Any insights?
2026 employee outlook
I know it's probably too early to tell...anyone that was up for a raise/promotion or 2026 bonus...will those be impacted by the trade war between US and the world?
2023 layoff + two years, how life has changed
Sharing a few thoughts as the two-year anniversary of that little “mandatory” meeting approaches. I spent well over a decade at 3M and remain proud of what we built there. We did interesting research, created new products and worked with... — read more

Pay for Performance
What a joke. 7% If they can't reward my hard work and good results, why should I try to do better this year than I did last year? Time to perform to payment.
SAP
How are the SAP deployments going with the new guy now leading?
Good news on wonewok
Wonewok, at least a big part of it, is being sold to a state trust. Which will eventually be made available to the public for use. For those going down memory lane when 3M was THE best employer in East Metro, a trip to a former 3M gem may cheer up... — read more

Anyone know when we can expect to hear about our annual raises? I thought they typically go into affect on April 1.
3M Work Environment
Leadership engages in favoritism, lack of communication and incompetent practices in a climate of fear. Promotions based on favoritism not merit. Layoffs are random. HR will not respond to your issues, don't even bother complaining. I expressed my... — read more

3M announces investor event
Will there be some sort of announcement next week? Seems like cuts, restructuring or ‘new strategic direction’ is often announced at these investor events.
Is HR astroturfing this site?
There's a post about WFH that has some suspicious voting. Are there really that many people that want RTO, or is it trolls, or just HR astroturfing things?
Who is actually going into the office?
After the announcement back in October I've been to the office twice. Many people I know have only been back in a handful of times. There aren't enough desks and there isn't any benefit to going in, so it seems like unless you're unlucky enough to... — read more
Take a Peek Under Your Desk...
All desks now have "Desk Occupancy Sensors" installed... Take a peek or slide your hand around where your seat is typically situated in from of your monitors. Feel a small plastic square glued to the underside? That is a temperature activated... — read more

Huge EMEA layoffs expected in March?
Is this information confirmed? I've heard this rumor many times, but none of the details seem reliable. If anyone knows anything for certain, please share. It's better to be prepared, I guess.
>60% of 3Mers are looking for a new job
One of Bill Brown's priorities this year is to get that number under 55%. He's not going to do it by creating opportunity for advancement through promotion and new roles. He just wants us to stop complaining about the lack of opportunity at 3M. — read more
AASD what is happening
Now that the “diversity hire” president of AASD has left 3M, who is in line to replace him? Will the the SVP of R&D from CBG be the next President of AASD. Lol 😂 … can’t mess it up even more
3M HR Fun Office Culture = Distraction from Poor Pay
Ping-pong tables and free snacks are cool, but they don’t pay the bills. Hyping the “fun” factor without talking about salary or benefits, it’s a distraction tactic. Keep your eyes on the prize—real value.
major layoffs to EMEA to be announced in March
yes here they come, Wee pete on his way as his plan has worked out perfectly, mess up the supply chain and make it look busy for orders Q1 and Q2 and then order SVP's to hit hard on OEE in plants and cut the under performers who are not hitting the... — read more

Anywhere decent within 3M?
Is there anywhere within the company that is ok to work with a decent culture? At this point, I don’t even need it to be enjoyable—just not toxic. My group is rough. Unrealistic expectations, low resources, no willingness to hear input. I’ve been at... — read more
There is no opportunity at 3M
How many town halls do we have to endure where leaders get asked a pointed question about opportunity and career advancement only to completely dodge and waffle. They aren't answering because there is no opportunity. Things are not improving, and... — read more
ESC town hall
Great questions asking about employee retention and growth. A number of leaders answered the questions, but didn’t mention anything about retention or acknowledging employee value. Just evasive answers and plugging the SCA. Just say you value or... — read more

Employee Recognition Programs
Does anyone remember these recognition programs: Pyramid of Excellence Award or 3M M&SCS - LSS Awards or Division Achievement Awards? Do any of these exist today and/or have they been replaced by other Corporate awards?
3M JOB = Just Above Broke
